I agree about procmail being overkill, I wasn't planning on adding it
as dependency. However lockfile-progs is only available on Debian,
plus since pkg-cacher is written in Perl I wanted to find a Perl module
to handle the locking. I'm going to use LockFile::Simple. It is
available as a standard package on Debian and Fedora so I just need to
create an RPM for CentOS.<br>
